i saw these wheels last year and almost considered myself as i was doing the whole CF theme to mine...but i felt the car wouldnt do it justice as a non M3 car is just not wide enough...(the wheels would have probably been too wide anyways but i would have made them fit somehow lol)

Dips the guy who does all the work for me im sure is the one who re-done the lips in frozen grey too!

one things for sure is that they are a unique set of wheels...not something you can find so easily..

Now i just have to read the complete thread again ! By the time i have finished , maybe my Mercedes option will have been finally quashed.

Think finally all my pictures have returned.

I think i remember that you are going to have a cinnamon interior ? Reckon that will look good and possibly enhance the 'bronzeness'!

Talking of cinnamon .. it was my favourite colour on an E46 M3 (black or grey ) and so wished i had ordered it rather than the red I had. I didn't realise i liked it till i saw it at a BM3W meet on a mates car .. and was always envious of his choice.

Oh - and when are we going to be able to see this car in the flesh ? Will be worth the drive from the south coast I think

I'm actually having second thoughts on the full re trim. 2 reasons, I look at my seats and they are beautiful, and secondly I can't find a leather close to cinnamon. All are either tooooo orange or toooo pale.

I'm now thinking retrim my spare rear seat and door cards to match the fronts. Alcantara and leather with double silver stitching. I would then do the dash trim, centre console, and door trims in silver carbon fibre to brighten it up?

Similar to this,

Not completely decided yet. Just a thought ( and a cheaper one).

Will be doing some shows this year for sure

To be honest do like them but car would end up looking the same as mandeeps car. Love his but not trying to replicate it.

Think it's unlikely I'd buy them as for me it takes it into a more modified look that I like but with this car my theme is more oem plus plus plus

Car looks amazing on those wheels.
I have no idea what wheels you're considering but I doubt any wheel could look as perfect under those arches.

As said not really the ones posted. Possibly a set of bbs chr,

Which would just look the same but cost me ££££££ more. These are most likely but keep putting it off as they are so similar!

Yes they have - it made a great afternoons read starting from the beginning again! Only by doing that did i realise you had picked up a Cat 'D' ?

I see what you mean - cinnamon was definitely more 'tan' than 'orange' and now i'm older i find myself only looking at black for myself!

It's funny - I was looking at an M3 Alpine last night and liking the white stitching on the seats , if not the white painted on the lower centre console. But then I thought i could always wrap that if i grew tired of it...

I was arguing with myself that the M3 Edition would be a good buy over a standard car .. apart from maybe the Dakar
